I'm Already a God, and You're Only Now Telling Me There Are Monsters?

Chapter 151: Chapter 116: One-Punch Kill

At the words ”Demon God,”

Qingyu reacted instantly, like a feral cat whose basic instincts were triggered. She hissed at Gu Qing:

”A lowly human like you dares to call yourself a god? Where do you get the confidence?!”

”Where do I get the confidence?”

Gu Qing smiled nonchalantly. ”From the confidence I’ll gain in a moment, when I grind you into the dirt and shove your face to the ground until your mouth is full of mud.”

The moment he finished speaking—

BANG!

Gu Qing stomped down, his sole shattering the hard ground. His body blurred into an afterimage, and in an instant, he was right in front of Qingyu.

’So fast!’

Qingyu’s pupils shrank, her heart lurching in shock.

Then, the Qi Blood Power inside her erupted like a volcano.

In an instant, it all converged on her dominant right fist.

Then,

she whipped up her iron fist, wreathed in Qi Blood Power, and threw a vicious punch at Gu Qing.

WHOOSH—!

Her fist tore through the air, creating a piercing sonic boom.

The force of this punch was enough to kill ten schoolgirls with pigtails.

The kind that wouldn’t leave a complete corpse.

However,

faced with such a terrifying punch,

Gu Qing didn’t dodge or evade.

He took the heavy, powerful blow right to the face.

BOOM!!!

A massive bang erupted.

Qingyu’s fist slammed viciously into Gu Qing’s nose.

Immediately after,

a sharp CRACK echoed from the point of impact.

It was the bones in Qingyu’s hand that had shattered.

A compound fracture.

The pain contorted her entire face.

”Too weak.”

Gu Qing gave a wicked grin.

He then curved his fingers into a claw and shot his hand out toward Qingyu.

Qingyu tried to dodge,

but Gu Qing was simply too fast.

Before she could even react,

the next instant,

a large hand landed on her head, gripping it firmly.

Before she could even struggle against the intense pain,

Gu Qing suddenly exerted his strength, lifting her entire body into the air by her head and slamming her against the cold, rough alley wall with a loud THUD.

He then pressed her stunningly beautiful face against the wall as if it were a blackboard eraser, grinding it back and forth with relentless force.

SCRAPE—!

The rough surface of the wall scraped against her cheeks.

Bits of stone and plaster rained down.

The harsh grinding sound echoed through the narrow alley.

Qingyu tried to break free,

but Gu Qing’s strength was simply too immense.

With just one hand, he held her head pinned to the wall, unable to move.

She could only let out stifled groans, her eyes filled with a mixture of shock and fury.

It wasn’t until a loud RUMBLE sounded, when a large hole had been ground into the alley wall and the entire section collapsed,

that Qingyu seized the opportunity to wrench herself free from Gu Qing’s grip. She tumbled to the ground with a heavy THUD, rolling several times before finally gaining her freedom.

”Hah... huhh...”

Qingyu scrambled up from the ground, looking disheveled and gasping for breath.

Her once-gorgeous face was covered in dust, but her skin was unharmed.

A mere rough alley wall was not enough to injure her powerful body, which had a Biological Level as high as Tier Nine.

”King Kong Barbie Fox, what other tricks do you have? Go on, show me.”

Gu Qing said, cracking his knuckles. ”Let this Extraordinary Newbie broaden his horizons.”

Through their brief exchange, he had already gauged the King Kong Barbie Fox’s strength.

She was far weaker than him.

No matter how many openings he gave her, there was no possibility of her turning the tables.

And once he was certain of his victory, a deep-seated curiosity was awakened within Gu Qing.

He wanted to study this unconventional Fox Woman who specialized in physical combat and see what other abilities she possessed.

This way, if he encountered a stronger Fox Woman of the same type in the future, he would have more countermeasures.

He wouldn’t be caught clueless, unable to formulate a strategy and forced to rely on pure brute force to win.

”You forced my hand!”

A fierce look entered Qingyu’s eyes. Her muscles tensed, and she opened her mouth to let out a powerful roar: ”RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH—!”

’She’s roaring that loud?’

’She must be about to unleash an incredibly powerful ultimate move...’

Gu Qing’s brows furrowed slightly. The Qi Blood Power within him surged as he prepared to go all out.

But just then!

Qingyu, who had been roaring at the top of her lungs, suddenly snapped her mouth shut, turned without a word, and bolted as fast as she possibly could.

Gu Qing froze for a second.

Then he immediately understood.

This King Kong Barbie Fox didn’t have any ultimate move.

The roar was nothing but a bluff, a diversion to create a chance to escape.

”Hmph. Trying to escape?”

Snapping back to his senses, Gu Qing lunged forward, instantly appearing behind Qingyu. He drew back his fist and threw a heavy punch at her muscular back.

BOOM!!!

A massive bang erupted.

Qingyu’s back caved in.

Then, a large hole burst open in her chest,

spraying blood into the air.

The tremendous impact sent her flying, her feet leaving the ground.

Several seconds passed

before Qingyu crashed heavily to the ground with a THUD, a large amount of blood spilling from her lips.

’I actually punched a hole right through her?’

’She’s that weak?’

Gu Qing looked stunned.

He had only meant to knock Qingyu down to stop her from escaping.

He never expected her to be unable to take it, to have a hole punched straight through her torso.

”Hey, are you still alive?”

Gu Qing walked over and nudged Qingyu’s body with his foot.

Qingyu’s heart had been destroyed. Her life force was draining away rapidly; she wasn’t going to make it.

Before she died,

her eyes were fixed on Gu Qing,

her gaze filled with hatred as she spoke:

”You lowly human... The Saintess... The Saintess will definitely avenge me... Cough, cough, cough!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she choked on the blood rising in her throat, coughing in agony.

A few seconds later,

the life force within her completely faded away.

She died on the spot.

It seemed her ability to speak just now was merely a final burst of adrenaline-fueled energy before death.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Gu Qing couldn’t help but think of himself a few days ago.

Back then, he had just crippled the schoolgirl with pigtails who had fully transformed into a Ratman, only to be chased down by a masked man who appeared out of nowhere. He had been almost powerless to fight back.

Now, he felt that if he faced that masked man again, he would be able to put up a fight.

At the very least, he was confident he could protect himself.

Shaking off his stray thoughts,

Gu Qing crouched down and began patting down Qingyu’s corpse, searching for any treasures.

But after a thorough search, he found nothing.

”So poor!”

Gu Qing couldn’t help but complain.

The words had barely left his mouth

when the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated violently.

Gu Qing took out his phone and saw that it was the Magic Mirror tucked inside his phone case that was twitching.

He took out the Magic Mirror.

On its surface, he saw a line of text:

[Two hundred meters ahead, in an abandoned building, lie two heavily injured Night Court colleagues. If you go and save them now, you can make them owe you a favor.]

’Heavily injured Night Court colleagues?’

’Could they have been injured by this Fox Woman on the ground?’

’Mm, that’s probably it...’

With that thought,

Gu Qing opened his phone’s camera and took a few photos of the Fox Woman’s corpse.

He then opened the YeShuo app, uploaded the photos to the Night Court’s system, and added a description of how he killed the Fox Woman to log his achievement.

After finishing all that,

Gu Qing grabbed the Fox Woman’s corpse from the ground.

Then, guided by the Magic Mirror,

he rushed toward the abandoned building to rescue them.

A few moments later,

Gu Qing found the abandoned building and went inside.

Following the faint smell of blood in the air,

he soon found the two heavily injured Night Court colleagues in a second-floor fire escape.

Both of them had had their limbs broken and their mouths stuffed with thick cloth.

They couldn’t walk,

and they couldn’t call for help.

The moment Gu Qing appeared,

they both assumed the Fox Woman had captured him and brought him back. Their eyes filled with despair.

Until the next second,

when they saw the Fox Woman’s corpse dangling from Gu Qing’s hand, the despair in their eyes vanished.

In its place was shock and disbelief.

Then, a storm of emotions—excitement, elation, relief—exploded in their minds.

They instantly began to make muffled sounds.

They were so overjoyed they began to cry.

Both of them had thought they were dead for sure, never expecting to be saved by a rookie.

This sudden rescue sent their emotions swinging from the lowest depths to the highest peak; it was hard not to cry.

Gu Qing casually tossed Qingyu’s corpse to the floor.

He then went over, crouched down, removed the gags from Jin Jun’s and Zheng Ruihuan’s mouths, and helped them sit up against the wall.

Only then did he ask calmly:

”Brother Jun, Sister Huan, what happened to you two?”

He recognized both of these Night Court Members.

He had met them during the bizarre shadowy figure incident in his residential complex.

Back then, Liu Zhiyi had dealt with the shadow, and these two had arrived late.

”We were beaten by that Fox Woman you just threw on the floor.”

Jin Jun said in a weak voice, ”This Fox Woman attacked the Jiangbei Street Security Office. She used some special means to get your home address from a Security Officer. She was probably on her way to attack your home.”

”Ruihuan and I received the intel and rushed to stop her immediately.”

”In the end, we weren’t strong enough. She crippled us and left us here, saying that after she captured you, she would take us all back to her lair to be tortured.”

Saying this, Jin Jun looked at Qingyu’s motionless body on the floor and asked Gu Qing, ”Did you kill this Fox Woman by yourself?”

Gu Qing nodded. ”Yes.”

Jin Jun had expected as much, but hearing Gu Qing confirm it still sent a powerful shock through him.

That Fox Woman’s physical body was monstrously strong.

She had taken on both of them at once, easily crushing him—with a Biological Level of Tier Six Late Stage—and Zheng Ruihuan—with a Biological Level of Tier Six Mid Stage—as if they were toys.

Based on that performance, her Biological Level had to be at least Tier Seven Late Stage, and was likely Tier Eight.

It might have even been Tier Nine.

Yet such a powerful being had been solo-killed by a rookie like Gu Qing.

A flawless solo kill, at that.

Because there wasn’t a single wound on Gu Qing’s body.

Only his clothes were a bit tattered.

This meant that Gu Qing’s Biological Level was very likely as high as Tier Nine.

Otherwise, he couldn’t have killed that Fox Woman without taking any damage.

Thinking of this, Jin Jun took a deep breath and couldn’t help but ask Gu Qing, ”Gu Qing, are you really an Extraordinary Contactor like us?”

Before Gu Qing could answer, he continued, ”The combat power you’ve shown tonight is far greater than that of us ten-year veterans. It’s even stronger than most Extraordinary Awakened of the same generation.”

”I really think you might be an Extraordinary Awakened specializing in physical enhancement, and the recruitment test just didn’t pick it up.”

”I suggest you go back and get retested,”

Jin Jun said with a serious expression.

Zheng Ruihuan, at his side, also chimed in, ”Gu Qing, I also think you’re an Extraordinary Awakened. When we get back to the Night Court, you should really apply for a retest.”

Gu Qing smiled. ”Brother Jun, Sister Huan, the recruitment test wasn’t wrong. I really am just an Extraordinary Contactor. Maybe the Extraordinary things I’ve come into contact with were just a bit more High-Level, so I’m a little stronger than you.”

’A little stronger?’

’You’re clearly a billion times stronger, okay?!’

Jin Jun and Zheng Ruihuan couldn’t help but roast him in their minds.
